IMO he's better than Duran. Better footwork, better head movement, faster, crisper striking. Does Pacquiao have the killer instinct that Duran had? Hell no. Do I think he's the better overall fighter? Yeah.
Pacquiao is better than Duran

what? stylistically Duran is a nightmare for Pacquiao. predominately a counter puncher(Pacquiaos weakness) and an excellent infighter as well(Pacquiao is not so hot in a close range fight).i hate it how old boxers are put on such a high pedastol like they are unbeatable. thing is if people watch duran, they will see he is tailor made for pacs style, the version of pac that beat hatton, cotto, clottey and margarito will easily outclass and beat duran. Basically lets put it this way
Prime pac beats a prime duran imo, styles make fights and pac would land all day on him
a green pac say the one who lost to morales would probably lose or just win via split decision
not even Roach thinks Pacquiao would beat Duran.Comment

i agree
pac has more better rounded abilities compared to Duran, Duran has more power, hits alot harder than Pac.Comment

This post right here^^
People tend to get too hyped up on the "what's hot now" list.Comment

pac is not gud close range?
yeh cus everything cums out of Roach's mouth is the truth. like he says pac beats floyd everyday. ?? lolComment

no, he fights good midrange. not good at body to body, and thats how Duran fought when he got close. every time Pacquiao is pressed up against the ropes he simply guards, he doesnt even attempt to fight
reading some of the posts in this thread, Im going to have to assume that a lot of you dont anything about Duran or his style.
why has this forum been so much ******er lately? It seems to have dropped off dramatically since a day or two ago.Comment

lfc is an idiot. Don't listen to the crap that comes out of his mouth.
It'd be an awesome fight, but I feel the speed would bother Duran greatly. That straight left would be Pacquiao's money punch and would break him down. Could Pacquiao get caught with one of those bricks and get knocked out? Hell yeah. No disrespect to Duran at all. He's one of the best no doubt. Just my opinion.Comment
